so why can speaker boehner not just move this forward? >> i think the republican leadership should realize that it's not about them. it's about the american people. i came to my district last night. i'm flying back this afternoon. just to be with constituents. doctors, people in the arts, laborers, catholic charity. today my district celebrated 70 years, people who are used to helping the vulnerable. i will tell you, they get it. they understand that all we have to do is put a bill on the floor and the government will open. catholic charities, in fact, is working with a federal program dealing with young immigrants. that program is faltering because of lack of federal dollars. even though they are still working. what i would say to the leadership, the republican leadership, is listen to peter king who says you're on a kamikaze route. a suicide mission. there are votes. there are at least 21 republicans. 17 to 21. let me be on the conservative side. along with democrats who are ready to vote right now, yesterday. early this evening or tomo
